New Orleans, August 1, 1891. 

Dear Sir—On the 11th clay of April, 1889, the "Louisiana 
Historical Association" was chartered, under the provisions of 
the law of the State of Louisiana relative to the organization of 
corporations for literary, scientific, religious and charitable pur- 
poses, with its domicile in the city of New Orleans. 
As set forth in its charter: 

"The objects and purposes for which this corporation is 
formed are to collect such books, pamphlets, papers, documents, 
liags, maps, plans, charts, -paintings, engravings, lithographs and 
other pictorial representations, manuscripts and other things 
appertaining to the history of the territory of Louisiana, both 
before and after its cession to the United States, and especially 
the collection and preservation of all papers, documents, relics, 
etc., relating to the war between the States from 1861 to 1865. 
And this corporation shall have the right to compile and pub- 
lish, and to have compiled and published, books, plans, charts, 
and other papers and documents relating to the purposes for 
which it is organized and to apply for and hold copyrights and 
patents necessory to its protection. 

"And the powers of this corporation shall be fully vested in 
and exercised by a board of governors to consist of twenty-five 
members, five of whom shall be selected from each of the follow- 
ing Confederate organizations, to- wit: The "Association of the 
Army of Tennessee," the "Association of the Army of Northern 
Virginia," the "Battalion of Washington Artillery," and the 
"Association of Veteran Confederate States Cavalry," and five 
members of the trustees of the "Howard Memorial Library As- 
sociation;" and they shall hold their offices for a period of one 
year." 

The first board of governors was composed as follows: From 
the Association of the Army of Tennessee — J. B. Wilkinson, Jr., 
Geo. H. Frost, K. S. Venables, J. K. Renaud and Wm. Preston 
Johnston ; from the Association of the Army of Northern Virgin- 
ia—John T. Purves, E. D. Willett, Peter Blake, T. S. Campbell and 
Thomas Higgins; from the Battalion Washington Artillery — W. 



M. Owen, E. I. Kursbeedt, C. L. C. Dupu}', Jos. H. Degraoge and J. 
H. Duggan; from tlie Association of Veteran Confederate States 
Cavalry— J. Henry Beliau, D. A. Given, T. E. Davis, S. S. Pren- 
tiss and W. R. Lyman, and from the hoard of trustees of the 
Howard Memorial Library Association — Frank T. Howard, G. 
T. Beauregard, J. N. Galleber, Robert Maxwell and Charles E. 
Fenuer; with Frank T. Howard as president, W. R. Lyraan as 
first vice-president, W M. Owen as second vice-president, D. A. 
Given as secretary and treasurer, and Charles A. Nelson as 
custodian. 

Tje following extract refers to membership: 
"Membership in this Association shall consist of white per- 
sons of good moral character, who were in the service of the 
Southern Confederacy, and of their white descendants, and also 
of white persons of good moral character who were not in such 
service, but who have been citizens of Louisiana for more than 
five years previous to their application for membership herein. 

"Honorary members may be elected at any regular meeting 
of the Board of Governors, by a two-thirds vote of those present 
at such meeting. They must be eligible to membership in this 
Association and shall be exempt from all fees, dues and service. 

Applications for membership in this Association shall recite 
fully the name, residence and qualifications of the applicant, and 
shall be accompanied by the initiation fee of two dollars, which 
fee shall be returned to the applicant if he be rejected. This ap- 
plication shall be read at a regular meeting and shall be refer- 
red to the Executive Committee. 

"The initiation fee of this Association shall be two dollars, 
and the dues shall be one dollar per annum, all payable in 
advance." '' '■' * '■'' '■'' * 

The Association is now in the third year of its existence, and 
the results are highly encouraging. 

Domiciled in a fire-proof building (an annex to the Howard, 
Memorial Library), built expressly for the Association by F. T. 
Howard, Esfj. It has collected over 4,000 valuable manuscripts, 
books and papers, including those of President Jefferson Davis 



General Braxton Bragg, and Commodore Wm. Wallace Hunter, 
besides portraits of distinguished men, anns, unit'urms, regi- 
mental flags, etc. 

It is the object and purpose of the Association, as recited 
above, to collect, within its walls, all documents relating to the 
history of Louisiana and the war between the States; and it would 
earnestly urge upon everyone having papers or relics in their 
possession, to place tbem in its charge, that they may be listed, 
and preserver], from fire and moth for all time to come; and 
where the searcher after truth can explore a mine of wealth, and 
the old soldiers of the Coufederacy, can find their deeds of valor 
carefully and religiously recorded and enshrined, to be studied 
by generations yet unborn. 

The membership of the Assooiation is growing daily, and it 
has been thought proper to issue this pamphlet so as to convey 
information of its existence to absent comrades, and to solicit 
their encouragement, their papers and their relics, so that they 
may aid us in our work by becoming members of the Association, 
and contributors. 

Respectfully,
